Answer:

Yes she should purchase this preferred stock.

Explanation:

Return on investment as a percentage = return/capital invested * 100

For Aeryn to decide whether she should purchase this preferred stock, its return on investment should be higher than or equal to 8%. The return on investment of this preferred stock is $40/$475 * 100 = 8.42%, which is higher than her required return therefore she should purchase the preferred stock.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$2914

Explanation:

The following steps would be taken to determine the answer

1. Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information  

2. calculate the accumulated depreciation by the second year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense

3. subtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value  

4. calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book value

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($9,920 - $1240) / 5 =  $1736

Accumulated depreciation = 1736 x 2 = $3472

Book value at the beginning of 2021 = 9920 - 3472 = $6448

Depreciation expense in 2021 = (6448 - 620) / 2 = $2914

How do banks create money?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Commercial banks, required reserve, loans, deposits, create.

Explanation:

The main function of commercial banks is to accept deposits and then to lend the same money (minus required reserves) back out. Banks make a profit by charging a higher interest rate on loans than the interest rate they pay on deposits. Through the loan process, banks are actually able to create money.

The major function of commercial banks is

1. Accepting deposits from people and business organzations.

2. Giving loans to Customers to be paid at a specific period of time at an agreed interest rate.

Required reserve is the minimum amount of money which in required for a commercial Bank to hold/save out of every deposit. If the required reserve is 10% of every deposit, a customer customer deposited $100. The required will be $10 which the bank will hold. The remaining $90 is the balance which banks can loan out to Customers.

Commercial Banks make profit by charging a higher interest rate on loan and lower interest rate on deposits. For example: 7.5% interest rate on loan and 2.5% interest rate on deposits. The 5% difference is the bank Profit.

Answer:

Buy 0.8 shares for each option purchased

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What is necessary to hedge the position

Using this formula

N=Vu-Vd/U-D

U = stock price in case of an up move = $36

D = stock price in case of an down move = $26

VU = put option value if stock goes up = $0

VU = put option value if stock goes down = $32 - $26 = $6

Using this formula

N=

N

Now let calculate What is necessary to hedge the position

Value =74 x + 6
